Junk Rig for Ingeborg Summer Conditions that they are a bit under-rigged for light-wind Junk Rig for Ingeborg summer conditions. Another day, another boat by Arne Kverneland Enter Ingeborg (June 2014). When seeing Ingeborg for the first time, she stood out clearly from most of her sisters. I have been on board a number of IFs. Now, around 40 years after they I didn’t have to do this - converting yet another boat derivatives, the IF did not end up as “the big fat were new, their state of repair varies greatly.

Indeed, she appears longer and sleeker, if was close to the end of a total refurbishment job when sailing, that is, pottering around within a 10-20 mile anything, and she is slightly faster. Still, by modern I bought her. Her inner lining had been completely radius from my harbour. Frøken Sørensen , a 6.5m standards, I wouldn’t call the IF a really fast boat.

The key to this is the my first boat ever to be that. built is a reason in itself. Besides, the IF is the loveliest combination of slim lines, heavy keel and big keel of all the boats in the Folkboat category. area. The long keel may look old-fashioned, but for The problem was that it took a while before I dared to such a small boat, which is to sail along a rocky touch her. Ingeborg actually looked too smart.

The original NF was clinker- profile, and that big, heavy keel.

The thick wooden improve the Nordic Folkboat, but unlike other NF- masts I have had on former boats certainly took up Page 34 The JRA Magazine issue 72 October 2016 some space, but they were warm to the touch, so did cruising. Ingeborg’s sailplan is the first I have made I decided to make and finish the sail in two separate no harm. The aluminium mast for Ingeborg takes up which is based on one from my range of master sections. The lower section consisted of all the less space, but feels very cold and hard, so I guess I sailplans; the one with AR= 1.90. I simply followed parallelogram panels (4-7) and then there was the top will make a sort for jacket for it, some day. my own instruction in Chapter 4 of The Cambered section (panels 1-3). I started with the lower Panel Junk Rig (TCPJR), and scaled the master sail section. The resulting sail plan shows a sail of 35.2sqm, which down until the batten length was crimped to 4.90m. gives a sail area to displacement ratio of 21.5 or Apart from using the standard Johanna style sailplan, Job number one was to move away some furniture to 16.4sqm/metric ton. Perfect for coastal summer based on the work of Hasler and McLeod, I used my give room for lofting. I have found that making paper barrel method to achieve around 8% camber in the templates for the panels makes sense, even in the top horizontal panels. The top panels were as usual cut panels, where they can only be used once. As photo much flatter, but still with a bit of camber in them. above shows, the canvas (Odyssey III) was wide This ensures that the loads are on the luff and leech, enough to cover the lower panels. I always cut the which keeps them from fluttering templates to the net size of the panels, and allowance for hems etc. is then drawn onto the cloth before cutting. When panel 7 had been cut out, I could re-use the pattern for the three others. Actually, I prefer to sew any new batten panel onto the previous one before I cut out the next, although it may be more efficient to do all the cutting in one run. Thanks to the use of my Amateur Method B; a simple tailor’s seam, the heavily rounded panel edges are easy to sew together (photo below). Template made and rolled out to mark up the lowest panel.

Since each panel differed from the next, I had to make three different patterns. In addition, I had to add some cloth to the upper corner of each panel (photo below). For this, I found it very useful to have the template ready. That let me add a slightly oversized patch to the cloth, before putting on the template again, marking up the panel, adding for hems etc. and then cutting it out. Note that these little corners were the only cloth that had to be passed inside the Staple-basting two panels together along the edge.

  • Testing Ingeborg Against La Barca
    Testing Ingeborg against La Barca How does an IF with a junkrig fare against a well-tuned Nordic Folkboat? Today, finally it was time to check out how my Marieholm IF (1974) performed against her close relative, a wooden Nordic Folkboat (1967?), owned and sailed by Allan Haugaard. Since both boats live in Lundsvågen, we decided to start from there and ‘sail around something’. We divided the course into three legs. The first boat to arrive at each waypoint, stopped, and the time was recorded for both boats. Then the race was re-started on the next leg. Both boats were single-handled. Mate Göran was on board my boat to take photos and note the times, but did not help with sailing. The accuracy of the time recording was within around ten seconds, I guess. Below is a map, which roughly shows the route we sailed. Only on the last leg, from C to A did we have to tack, but I haven’t tried to draw our tacking pattern. There was no real dead run in this race. ..The route we sailed, just drawn in Paint - no GPS-track... The first leg from A to B. The wind was, as indicated on the map, somewhere around 6-8kts. It was quite weak to begin with, but picked up a little as we came out on the open fjord. At first, it looked as if La Barca was to pull ahead, but after a bit fiddling with the sheet, Ingeborg started to gain just a little. 1 Still, the two boats were remarkably equal until the last bit before waypoint B.

There are reasons for this success. First and foremost is the boat’s ability to not only handle, but to thrive in the heavy conditions the Bay dishes out all summer long. Combine her ability with classic lines and beauty and a down to earth group of sailors who enjoy both racing and cruising their Folkboats, you have 50+ years of success on San Francisco Bay. The Folkboat is known for her clinker (or lapstrake) hull (the Swedish designers wanted to retain some Viking tradition in addition to simple construction for the original wooden versions), deep cockpit, simple sail plan and uncluttered layout of her running rigging. Her modified full keel makes her a very stable, easy sailing boat especially when the wind is

  • UNITED STATES PERFORMANCE HANDICAP RACING FLEET LOW, HIGH, AVERAGE and MEDIAN PERFORMANCE HANDICAPS for the Years 2005 Through 2011 IMPORTANT NOTE
    UNITED STATES PERFORMANCE HANDICAP RACING FLEET LOW, HIGH, AVERAGE AND MEDIAN PERFORMANCE HANDICAPS for the years 2005 through 2011 IMPORTANT NOTE The following pages lists base performance handicaps (BHCPs) and low, high, average, and median performance handicaps reported by US PHRF Fleets for well over 4100 boat classes or types displayed in Adobe Acrobat portable document file format. Use Adobe Acrobat’s ‘FIND” feature, <CTRL-F>, to display specific information in this list for each class. Class names conform to US PHRF designations. The information for this list was culled from data sources used to prepare the “History of US PHRF Affiliated Fleet Handicaps for 2011”. This reference book, published annually by the UNITED STATES SAILING ASSOCIATION, is often referred to as the “Red, White, & Blue book of PHRF Handicaps”. The publication lists base handicaps in seconds per mile by Class, number of actively handicapped boats by Fleet, date of last reported entry and other useful information collected over the years from more than 60 reporting PHRF Fleets throughout North America. The reference is divided into three sections, Introduction, Monohull Base Handicaps, and Multihull Base Handicaps. Assumptions underlying determination of PHRF Base Handicaps are explicitly listed in the Introduction section. The reference is available on-line to US SAILING member PHRF fleets and the US SAILING general membership. A current membership ID and password are required to login and obtain access at: http://offshore.ussailing.org/PHRF/2011_PHRF_Handicaps_Book.htm . Precautions: Reported handicaps base handicaps are for production boats only. One-off custom designs are not included. A base handicap does not include fleet adjustments for variances in the sail plan and other modifications to designed hull form and rig that determine the actual handicap used to score a race.
